Fender fuzz pedal with Kevin Shields signature
The Fender Kevin Shields Blender is a fuzz pedal built around the sound of an original vintage 1970s Fender Blender, the effect Kevin Shields used for his layered and heavily processed guitar tones. Fender developed this model with Shields over more than four years and based the circuit on a careful hand tracing of his personal fuzz box.
That gives you an effects pedal with clear roots in the classic Fender fuzz voice, while still being adapted for practical use on stage or in rehearsal. Guitarists drawn to effect-heavy alternative rock sounds will get a lot from this design.
Fuzz pedal with two channels and blend control
At its core, you hear the voice of the original Fender Blender, but the Fender Kevin Shields Blender adds new ways to control and mix that fuzz. You get two footswitchable fuzz channels, each with its own level control, so you can dial in each sound separately.
This lets you blend the fuzz with your clean signal, or combine the fuzz voice with a beefy suboctave fuzz for a thicker, weightier texture. That setup makes this guitar pedal a strong choice if you want to call up multiple layers of fuzz from one unit without slowing down your workflow.
Sag function and direct performance control
The control layout uses four easy-access footswitches, aimed at real playing situations. One of the standout elements is the sag footswitch, which adds sputtering and ducking-style effects that respond to how hard or softly you play.
Because of that, the Fender Kevin Shields Blender feels less like a static fuzz pedal and more like an effect that follows your playing dynamics. At Magna Music, you can also count on advice from people who work with guitars and effects themselves, which is useful when you want a pedal with a pronounced character.
